Rare set of 2 Japanese suits-of-armour, complete with 2 matching folding screens
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Important unique set of two suits-of-armour (yoroi), complete with two high six-panel screens, that belong together as is indicated by the used family crests (mon). Two crests are used, both belonging to the Nakagawa family of Oka Castle, Ôita prefecture on Kyûshû.
They are:
– the Nakagawa-kurusu, a circle depicting a Celtic-like cross through a ring.
The cross was originally a Christian symbol but after the ban on Christianity in Japan the use of a hidden cross in family crests could continue.
– the Nakagawa-kashiwa, two leaves of the Japanese Emperor Oak turned to each other (dakikashiwa mon).
The remarkable aspect of this ensemble is the presence of matching crests on both the yoroi and the accompanying folding screens. The kurusu and kashiwa crests adorning the yoroi are elegantly replicated on the screens, providing compelling evidence that these pieces form a harmonious and unified set. This exceptional cohesion between the armour and screens further enhances their artistic and historical value.
After the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598) had interfered in the battle between the Lord of Bungo Province Ôtomo Yoshi-mune (1558-1605) and the Shimazu of Hyûga Province, he split the Bungo Province in a number of small fiefs and transferred in 1594 Nakagawa Hideshige (1570-1612) from Miki Castle
in the Harima Fief to Oka Castle in Kyûshû.
The Nakagawa family stayed in possession of Oka Castle till the abolishment of the military use of castles in 1873. In 1884 the Nakagawa family received the title of Count (a title in use till the abolishment of aristocracy in 1947).
After the Nakagawa’s left, the castle and the building soon dilapidated and is now known as Oka Castle Ruins. The castle is located in Taketa Village part of Taketa Town in Ôita Province on Kyûshû.
> Set of two tall byôbu (folding screens),
painted with large red jinmaku (camp enclosure curtain) on a gold leaf ground. The curtains show both crests of the Nakagawa family: one screen depicts two Nakagawa-kurusu crests next to a Nakagawa-kashi crest in the middle, and the other shows the symbols the other way round.
Dimensions:
Total width 148.66 in/377.6 cm (2 x 25.35 in/64.4 cm, 4 x 24.48 in/62.2 cm); Height 72.63 in/184.5 cm.
Period: Japan – Late Edo period (First half 19th century), and maybe even older.
> Yoroi with Nakagawa-kashiwa crest:
A Japanese black lacquered suit-of-armour (yoroi) completely laced with orange cords (kuro’urushinuri hi’ito odoshi nimai’dô’maru).
A thirty-two plate suji’bachi kabuto (helmet with raised ridges) with in front a maedate (fore crest) -with traces of gilding- in the shape of flames, resembling a mythical flaming bird flying down. The fukikaeshi (face guards) and the mabizashi (visor) have the Nakagawa-kashiwa crest in gold maki-e lacquer.
Five curved ‘itazane’-plate neck guards (shikoro) laced with orange cords.

Imperium Romanum: A Detailed Map of the Roman Empire in its Zenith, 1880
Located in Langweer, NL
This original antique map, titled "IMPERIVM ROMANVM", is a detailed depiction of the Roman Empire at the height of its power. The main map encompasses the vast expanse of the Roman territories, stretching from the British Isles in the northwest to the deserts of Arabia and the northern fringes of Africa in the southeast.
**Key Features of the Map:**
1. **Territorial Colors**: The map uses different colors to distinguish the various provinces of the Roman Empire. These color-coded areas are to represent the administrative divisions within the Empire.
2. **Topography**: It shows a considerable amount of topographical detail, with mountain ranges, rivers, and bodies of water such as the Mediterranean Sea, prominently displayed.
3. **Cities and Settlements**: Cities are marked, with symbols indicative of their size or importance. Major cities such as Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, and Carthage are highlighted.
4. **Road Networks**: There appear to be lines connecting various cities and towns, which could represent the famous Roman road network that facilitated trade and military movements.
5. **Latin Text...
